Thailand must be careful with importing seeds from US. The US, Monsanto is trying to get all nations hooked on their GMO seeds, blackmailed Thailand into buying their corn seeds before (as well as Mexico). These seeds must be bought every year and they destroy domestic crops (by cross pollination). US made is not always great ... someone brought up US beef and Australia has much better beef thus they won't import US beef.

Thailand imposes their Import Tax based on the price of the item + Insurance of item + shipping cost. Is this normal for other countries Import Tax? Doesn't Thailand include VAT on top of the Import Tax as well? Thailands " import de minimis" is still 1500 thb I believe or did this recently change?

Thai Gov can't control the burns happening WITHIN Thailand, yet talk about surrounding countries. Appalling ... Fix the problem in Thailand before tackling the surrounding countries. Start with CP in Thailand!

With the Thai Gov going full ahead with casinos, I sent a msg to a Thai lady this morning suggesting she look into schools (offering certification) for "dealing cards". I know in Las Vegas this can be a good job to tied one over during a downturn or while waiting on a better job. I searched google and it showed a few classes (on FB and other sites). No casinos open yet but possibly something a lowly paid Thai can work towards.

First thing Trump did was get rid of ALL DEI folks. The US Constitution empowers DEI. Just look at the Senate and the Electoral College. Both DEI so the smaller states have Equity and Inclusion. Working out great for the US and all Trump voters. A lot of the red states (and a couple of blue states) take a lot more federal funds than they pay in taxes. Just grifters like Trump

It's not just BKK! Pattaya is abysmal with smoke too. Pathetic clowns with their "urging" to farmers! 🤡

One of the provisions in the "wealthy foreigners" LTR is: - Exemption from foreign income tax As well as - 90 days report not required https://www.thaienquirer.com/32668/cabinet-approves-long-term-10-year-visa-to-attract-foreigners/?fbclid=IwAR2CSb5wZEKnosRDQjXRhpfWrMsohWDjF_GI63zND-VJVa7j-rEOW5Gb2Us

Would be nice if People's Party would get some local PAO wins to bolster their support! Not sure why Pita isn't campaigning since Thaksin does for Pheu Thai Party ....

The Brasilian people stopped their coups back in 80's with judicial and military signing on to it. I can't find what the judicial changes were yet. Brasil is much like Thailand (except for the royal family here) with many many poor people (like Issan Thai's).

Maybe Thais can be shipped over to US (like they do in Israel) to work in the fields and pick fruit. Trump doesn't like Mexicans to do this and NO American will do this backbreaking work. There are slaughterhouse jobs too ...

Research used to be only as good as the Uni's Library. Not sure these days with everything online ... A schools library is what determined if a school was a College or University.

True ... UC Berkeley is a good public school that always ranks up in the top 10 US Universites.

What are "point-based card" games? Is this poker, or blackjack, or hearts / spades or gin rummy?

One lady from Roi Et said there were 5 people her family each to got 10k THB - grandmother and her 4 adult children. They are having a big party with a lot of drinking (no driving) this whole week. This is a bigwindfall for them. Didn't ask if they were all going to vote Pheu Thai Party next time ....

Just tell the Thais how many General grade officers there are currently and how many previously.

Sh*t happens when an iconic US brand gives its CEO to a European. Thailand HD is a joke. HD opened its factories to the public but Thailand "assembly" can't be bothered to open their factory even to HD owners. TIT Thailand HD dealers just go along with the Thai Gov too. The Gov put on an additional 100k thb tax on all new Harleys "just because they can afford it" and not a peep out of the dealers here. Dealers won't advocate for new laws to encompass big bikes on Thai roads either - riding in other than L lane in BKK, using BKK flyovers, using BKK bridges ... Most EU buyers don't even know most of their HD bikes come from Thailand now.

How can the CC dissolve a party but allow coups and coup-makers to throw out the Thai Constitution to create a new one?

"The move came after reports surfaced suggesting that some of his advisers were taking bribes from military units and related agencies" Why aren't the people in "military units" that did the bribing going to be disciplined and the people from "related agencies" named and exposed?

Don't forget the 40,000 thb / mo schools they send their kids to. Try living on 400-600 thb per day wage .... Just to pay for what you want.

It's not just the 400 thb per day for workers, but a rise in minimum salary for new graduated university workers from 15,000 thb to 25,000 thb per month!

Will the Gov then allow card games in Thailand - pinochle, hearts, bridge? Or would this need a separate law?

You can still negotiate the 500 thb down to 200 thb in BKK ... Only at speed traps (outside of BKK) you can't negotiate, but you get a real ticket and have to pay where they stop you - just outside of Phrae, from Lampang to Trak are 2 I run up against all the time.

Where do "Only Fans", and other similar web sites, fit in? Is OF under influencers or "Soft Power"? Some of the Thai ladies on OF are making great money too!

I rented a car in SF and I showed both my CA DL and Thai and the lady told me that using my Thai license would be cheaper. There is some extra tax added for locals (local to the SF BayArea). I used my Thai license with no problem ...

Can this legislature pass but not be endorsed in the Royal Gazette? Privy Council or the one who can not be named not endorsing it?
